Springfield HVAC Questions Answered
Find the right HVAC contractor in Springfield. We connect you with licensed, insured professionals who deliver quality service—backed by real customer reviews.
How often should I change my air filter?
Every 1-3 months. Closer to 30 days if you have pets, allergies, or live in a dusty area. A dirty filter makes your system work harder and die sooner. Set a phone reminder.
How do I know if I should repair or replace my system?
General rule: If the repair costs more than half what a new system costs, replace it. Also replace if your system is 15+ years old and breaking down often. We'll give you both options with real numbers - no pressure.
How often should I schedule maintenance?
Twice a year. AC tune-up in spring (March-May). Furnace tune-up in fall (Sept-Nov). Catches problems early and keeps your warranty valid.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, we have several financing packages and monthly payment plans available.
What size HVAC system do I need for my home?
It depends on your home's square footage, insulation, windows, and local climate. A good contractor will perform a Manual J load calculation rather than just sizing based on square footage. Oversized systems waste energy and provide poor humidity control.
How long should a new HVAC system last?
With proper maintenance, furnaces last 15-20 years and air conditioners 12-15 years. Heat pumps typically last 12-15 years. Regular filter changes and annual tune-ups help maximize lifespan and efficiency.
What rebates are available for new HVAC equipment?
Federal tax credits offer up to $2,000 for heat pumps and $600 for high-efficiency furnaces and AC. Many utilities offer additional rebates of $200-500. Your contractor should know the current local incentives.
Does Massachusetts require a HVAC license?
Massachusetts does not require general HVAC licensure, but technicians working on refrigeration units over 10 tons or using more than 10 pounds of refrigerant must hold a Refrigeration Technician license. This license requires completing structured apprenticeship training combined with supervised work hours and EPA Section 608 certification.
Do you need a permit to replace a furnace in Massachusetts?
Yes, in Massachusetts you need a permit to install a new HVAC system or replace an existing furnace. This permit isn't usually included in the price of the unit, so it's an extra cost to plan for. Most towns charge a fee based on the job's cost, plus a small base fee.
